Insecure System Threats:
How secure is your data?
Who else is seeing your data?
What would happen if a member of staff turned feral?
Information security is the biggest single challenge facing businesses today. While companies become more reliant on the information they hold, they are faced with ever-increasing threats to the security of their networks and the integrity of their data. The international standard for information security management, ISO/IEC 17799, states that "Information security is the protection of information from a wide range of threats in order to ensure business continuity, minimize business risk, and maximize return on investments and business opportunities"
The Three aspects of Security:
Confidentiality, ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to have access.
Integrity, ensuring that information is correct and can only be altered by those authorized to do so.
Availability, ensuring that information is accessible when needed by those authorised to access it.
How safe are your systems? Hard drives fail, what would happen if yours were to do so? Are you on the Internet? Can people from outside see your systems? Can your staff access questionable Web sites? Can staff copy your data? Can your staff install any software they wish?

We can carry out an audit of your systems, propose a security police which meets your needs and budget, and implement recommendations.
